I stare into eternity    always one step ahead of me    I touch its wake every single day    but it slips from my grip and away       when what was given is gone    a one-way road to oblivion    and as I fight for just one more breath    I awake to the reality of death       you wouldn't ever want to try    see through my eyes    you'd break like a child inside    if you ever realized    through a mirror of time    I see your reflection    in the image that is me       I won't be around for too long    I too will see oblivion    and as I struggle to hang on    my life will fade until I'm gone       It's my secret number    and everybody wins this one    it's not as if time is on my side    we all drown in the same tide       you wouldn't ever want to try    see through my eyes    you'd break like a child inside    if you ever realized    on an everlasting sea    the tide of evolution goes on    for eternityI stare into eternity    always one step ahead of me    I touch its wake every single day    but it slips from my grip and away
